New Procedure To Repair Scar Tissue, Discoloration, and Wrinkles

Many patients have scars, discoloration, and wrinkles which bother them and they would like to have the best options for doing something about it. One new procedure is called automatic oscillating vertical needling, a form of micro-needling which visibly tightens, lifts and rejuvenates the skin. It also reduces the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles as well as acne scarring and stretch marks.

After 4-6 treatments, patients can see the visible difference in their skin. It is tighter, the color is more even, and minor scars are less noticeable. Tighter skin around the lower part of the face can produce remarkable changes in the shape of the
lower face.

Automatic oscillating vertical needling technology can be used to fractionally rejuvenate the skin, as well as address a wide array of pigmentary issues and other problems found in structurally compromised skin.

Micro needling creates can generate up to 1,296 puncture channels per second to create fractional rejuvenation of the skin. Treatment is often combined with topical nutrients that stimulate, repair and accelerate resurfacing results.

The treatment is completely safe to use on all skin types and colors. For patients that have acne scars, wrinkles, and any kind of textural issues on their face, this procedure has become the go-to treatment for many practitioners.

Micro needling produces tiny micro-pores that cause the aggregation of platelets. The platelets secrete growth factors that stimulate renewal of the skin. It also opens the pores to enhance the penetration of topical skin care products into the skin, maximizing the effectiveness of those products.

In the scalp, micro-needling enhances new blood vessel formation that promotes hair growth. In addition, for post-operative scars, it actually helps break down the thick collagen to help rejuvenate the skin.

Micro needling can be used as an alternative to surgery or as an adjunctive treatment after surgery to improve and maintain skin laxity.
